I have heard several times from local pro's and on PBA telecasts that a person made some changes in their pitches on their spare ball. Can anyone expand on this? What type of changes are being made and what results are they hoping to achieve? I'm assuming pitches are adjusted to force\allow a little more up the back release to simplify the spare shot. My reason for checking is we bowl in an old wood house that it is still difficult to not have your plastic ball hook a little and wondered if this was something myself and others could benefit from.

Thanks for the article Lillen... Interesting info for sure. So is the common change to lengthen the span a touch and add a little reverse pitch to help flatten out the shot some? I use a pretty fair amount of reverse as it is (1/2" Rev Thumb) so adding a little more would be interesting.

Thanks for the input Brickguy... Has anyone else tried a little longer span or pitch changes in their spare ball to help with spare shooting?
